I'm the writer of the novel NY BY (New City), 2013, and the short story collection Voksenting (Grown-Up Things), 2010, both published with the renowned Norwegian publisher Oktober. In 2014, I was appointed member of the Writers' Guild of Norway (WGN). I have done residencies at The MacDowell Colony in New Hampshire, USA, Baltic Centre for Writers and Translators in Gotland, Sweden, and Kunstnarhuset Messen in Ålvik, Norway. I am also an experienced journalist and editor, with fifteen years work experience from e.g. the Norwegian daily Dagbladet and The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet. I live in Oslo. http://borjamaria.com
